Today Dr Liz Fraser shares her personal health story. We also get to meet one of Dr Liz's patients, Jane. At the age of 56, Jane was ready to live down and die. She was obese, depressed, in pain, had fatty liver, and was on the wait list for knee surgery. By age 60, she had reversed her metabolic syndrome and come off many medications. Jane uses a low carbohydrate diet, along with regular gym and personal training, to keep her life moving in the right direction. She's not hungry or craving unhealthy food, and she thoroughly enjoys having muscles. After a 30 kg weight loss, the main thing she struggles with is finding clothes that will fit and that don't look like they're the wrong size for her.
